Summary: The design goal of Scrum is radical improvement in productivity. When Dr. Jeff Sutherland started the first Scrum teams and later scaled to the first Scrum enterprises, he saw increases in production of 400% or more. Those groups were teams in the Ri state. That lesson in how to implement Scrum at scale seems to have been lost with many corporations adopting frameworks that only move them to the Shu state, minimal acceleration, and calling it a victory. Even reaching an intermediate state, the Ha state, teams should quickly double their velocity. Dr. Sutherland will address the original vision of how Scrum scales and share case studies and patterns of scaling success.
